(Verse) Like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. (Verse) Like a worm on a hook, Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. (Chorus 1) And if I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you. (Verse) Like a baby, stillborn, Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. (Verse) But I swear by this song And by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. Songtexte(Chorus 2) I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, And he said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, She cried to me, "Why not ask for more?" (Verse) Like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. I have tried in my way to be free. Aus Songtexte Mania
